Tulip Time

We spent a perfect Michigan spring day in Holland at the Tulip Time Festival on Saturday. Betsy saw her first parade. She liked the drums and the various pretty girls in tiaras (Miss Asparagus Festival, Miss Pre-Teen USA, etc.). She DID NOT like the giant dragon balloon that had to be abruptly pulled to the ground to go under the trees right in front of us. She leapt into my lap and said, "Scared, Mama!" It was a little scary, I must admit! In spite of this it was a fun day!

We were at the parade also! Too bad we didn't run into each other. :)
